Rainy Sunday

Woke up even earlier than I usually do this morning. And believe me, I'm an early riser! I'm thinking on this rainy day I would like to do a few things such as Valentine crafts, and make a few little changes around with the knick knacks, Take some out to display, put a few away, etc. Just rotate a few things!Change it up a bit. That means going into my big closet upstairs so you may never hear from me again! I love digging through there cause sometimes I forget about things I have but I can get lost among the piles....  :)

Are you decorated for Valentine's Day yet? I've done some. I picked up this little girl below at the the thrift shop along with the little tea pot,  tea cup combo. Have I told you I'm in love with chamomile tea? Me...an affirmed coffee drinker and part time tea drinker has discovered this wonderful tea! I look forward to it every day!

I'm making more bird crafts too using tea cups and other things I can find and working on a Valentine swap for my swap partner that is just about ready to go! I made something really cute and country looking yesterday. I have to photograph it to show you.

Our Girl Scout troop had a great guest speaker the other evening. My friend Debbie is not only our school crossing guard but also a licensed vet technician. She does animal rescues and also is the owner of Gina, a therapy dog. Little Gina is a golden retriever who had been hit by a car ten years ago and doesn't have the use of her hind legs. She drags them. However when Debbie adopted her right after she was found, she discovered Gina had an incredible will to succeed and a great disposition. So she became a therapy dog.

Debbie had a scooter built for Gina's hind legs. She also has a special carriage for her and special suits for her legs. Gina visits hospitals, hospice, schools and is even a mascot for the Special Olympics events held here in Commack and Northport. My troop loved her and Debbie! Gina is truly Debbie's baby! Our girls learned so much about the services of therapy pets and how important it is to serve others as our Lord intended . Gina thrills the people she visits and cheers them up with her loving personality.

The girls also felt that animals with disabilities make great pets and should never be counted out at adoption.

 As for me, I'm off to the store to get some parmesan cheese as I just ran out after making a batch of meatballs when I woke up this morning for dinner later. I'm in the mood for spaghetti and meatballs. When my husband got up he said "the house smells delicious!"

Happy Sunday! Stay dry!
